NAME
   Process::Backgroundable - A Process::Storable object that can be
   backgrounded

SYNOPSIS
     # Background a finite length process
     MyCacheCleaner->new( dir => '...', maxsize => '10 meg' )->background;

     # Background an infinite length process
     MyWebServer->new( dir => '...' )->background;

DESCRIPTION
   "Process::Backgroundable" extends Process::Storable for the purpose of
   create process objects that can be run in the background and detached
   from the main process.

   It adds a "background" method that (rather than fork), launches a new
   copy of Perl, passing the Process to it using Process::Launcher, which
   will load and execute the process.

   Please note that both the "STDOUT" and "STDERR" for the backgrounded
   process will be sent to /dev/null (or your equivalent) so there is no
   way to recieve any output from the background process, and you will not
   be notified if it exits.

   If you want to add logging or locks or some other feature to your
   backgrounded process, that is your responsibility, and you set them up
   in the "prepare" method.

METHODS
   This method inherits all the normal methods from Process and in addition
   inherits the strict seperation of responsibility described in
   Process::Storable. You should be aware of both of these.

 background
   The "background" is provided by default, and will start another instance
   of the same Perl you are current running, although not necesarily with
   the same environment.

   This allows you to use "Process::Backgroundable" in very large
   applications that may contain other data that will not be so amenable to
   normal forking.

BUGS
   This is implemented with IPC::Run3 calls for now, but we might have to
   move to Proc::Background for more robustness later on.
